THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[johnnyredstorm]

Upshaw is the only other I can think of and the Lakers signed him

 

[casper90403]

I just hope Doc gives him enough playing time to help him develop. I mean, one wiuld think he would since we bought the draft pick but it is Doc we're talmbout...

Dawson's the kind of kid who will earn Doc's trust. Good head on his shoulders. He seems like a coach's dream. But we have so much more depth this coming season, so it might be tough to see him get minutes.

If i were him, I'd be working on shooting. Make 1000 jumpers every day

 

[casper90403]

I think it was Cliff. He was projected lottery before and for a good part of this season.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yall are referring to Christian Wood

 

[everysingletime]

Yea.. He got picked up in sl? Or did he just disappear?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Wood is on Miami's roster I think.

edit

Houston.

 

[pmatic]

Wood got picked up with the Rockets.

 

[awwsome]

I don't think Dawson is going to be on Dray's level more like a Faried style caliber.. which isn't bad at all, don't get me wrong

Pels lost if Dawson pans out. Gave him up for cash

Yup, definitely a Faried type athlete/rebounder.

 

[lawdog1]

But Faried is undersized at his position and therefore it's hard for him to be a great individual defender at PF. Dawson isn't undersized for his position. So, if he has the lateral quickness for it, could be a good perimeter defender. He has the strength and motor.

I almost think Dawson will play at the 4 

 it's only going to be spot minutes anyway

 

[osh kosh bosh]

ehh faried problem isn't size, he's got a gaint standing reach, the problem that he has no idea where to be and what to do.

he's always jumping around like somehow energy = good defense.


Brandon Dawson is more "undersized", below average reach.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Isn't Dawson 6'6?

 

[lawdog1]

In terms of his offensive "skillset" that makes sense, but I think he can defend perimeter players.

 

[lawdog1]

Yes, but I was under the impression he was acquired to play SF, not PF. I could be wrong though.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dawson is 6'6 but 225

Stout dude

 

[pmatic]

Marcus Thornton signing with the Rockets.

He's playing sf. We are in trouble if he plays pf.

 

[rck3sactown]

Marcus Thornton signing with the Rockets.

from $40 million cash monies deal with the basketball team in Sacramento 

to the minimum deal in H-Town

life comes at you fast

semi-related, didn't Boston draft a guy by the same name?

This is why dudes going broke so fast

 

[rck3sactown]

seriously tho, that ~30 game stint he had when he was first traded to the basketball team in Sacramento was unbelievable.

Tyreke was hurt for most of it I believe, and Thornton lit it up, straight en fuego status 

 

[definition of dopeness]

Rivers back w/ the Clips on a 2 year 6.4 million dollar deal, i wish my OG was a coach of some NBA team.

@daldridgetnt: Source indicates OKC will, as expected, match the 4-year, $70M offer sheet today for big man Enes Kanter, given Thursday by Portland.

 

[shoeking2102]

@ArashMarkazi: Austin Rivers signs a two-year deal to return to the Clippers. https://t.co/4ENiOx0Tl8

Now I really don't know why Jamal is still here. Austin Had a very solid postseason. Think he found a role in the NBA last season. Tough cover when he plays downhill
